Why Will Google TV Be Any Different From WebTV? Or AOL TV? Or MSNTV? Or…

“The simple fact is that cable companies like Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner (TWX) not only distribute the majority of the set-top boxes in the U.S, they also have a strong hold over content providers. Unless Google can convince them that their current business model is in need of something like Google TV, pushing the platform into the mainstream is likely to prove quite difficult.”

Google TV. I have been a proponent for Internet television, and I admire Google’s effort in trying to combine the entertainment value of television set and the Internet. Many other products and services have hoped to achieve the same goal. Question is, will it stick?
